Welcome, welcome, welcome!
Here we are on a Tuesday morning, wondering what the week might bring.
I can tell you what this morning will bring,
but have some coffee and a treat, first.
All are welcome to join the fun, the silliness, the conversations. If you don’t know...just ask! Some things really do require a bit of explanation.
There will be a few surprises along the way, all good ones, we hope.
